An average game other than the last 20 minutes between the teams in 6th and 13th respectively. Literally the only “justification” is that it’s Utd Always good to watch man u loose so I didn't mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Jeff Steling on Talksport saying even though a friend of his, he thought it was disgusting to allow Carragher to commentate on the Liverpool game. I'm glad someone has come out and admitted it. Mcoist didn't agree, saying he can commentate on Rangers without the bias, phones went mad, telling him straight he's having a laugh. Mcoist is becoming a bit of a hypocrite to gain fame, but from what I have heard of him, he is hugely bias, havent heard him with Rangers, but its blatently obvious Newcastle is his English team can't shut up about them Eddie Howe.

Haha. **** off. I agree with them. Chelsea lost narrowly, in extra time, to a team 25 points better off in the league and against whom they were in no way favourites. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time extra time rolled around and Liverpool had half their youth team on the pitch they really should have gone on to win it. Does that qualify as bottling it? If you wanted Liverpool to lose I guess it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't immediately start dominating just because the opposition has brought on a couple of younger players. It's a team game. I imagine Chelsea will be disappointed they didn't perform in extra time given how dominant they were at the end of the second half, and I also imagine that given the stick they're getting they probably wish they'd lost 3-0 to Liverpool's strongest XI instead, but they could have won had things gone just slightly differently in normal time and I don't think every loss has to be a 'bottle job'. Clearly most disagree with me, but as usual I'm right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly most disagree with me, but as usual I'm right I was speaking from Neville's perspective. He's angry Liverpool won and extend their record, won so he's taking it out on the team that lost. His ire may be better placed at his beloved Man United who didn't even get to the final. I think I agree with you, they didn't really bottle it, they're just not anywhere near as good as the amount of money they cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Haven’t really watched SSN for a while now as felt it had become really dumbed down and was just noise fixated on their favourites. Had a few minutes spare so flicked over to find Troy Deeney gurning at me from their ‘expert’ panel… switched it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
